Aidan's First Pool Experience

Last night, Chris, Aidan and I went to the pool with the Eges. It was Aidan's first swimming experience and it was fun to share that first with Kim and Matt's son, Caleb. Both boys got dressed in their new trunks, which we got from our Outlet mall shopping spree, and we headed to the pool, with floating devices in tow. They handled it very well.

Aidan was a bit apprehensive at first, so we spent the first half just holding him to get him used to the cooler water. Once, he was comfortable, he got into his floaty and cruised around the pool. Of course, he did spend most of that time playing with the pulls on the side of the float where the canopy attaches. Hey, as long as he was happy! Since Aidan is not a huge fan of even baths, I was very unsure how this first trip was going to go. So, I was pleasantly surprised with the outcome.

Caleb, on the otherhand, was a pro. He was very mellow, acting like he does this sort of thing all the time, which very well may be the case because he gets his baths from his dad. Hee hee. Boys will be boys. Although, he did make an interesting face when Kim put him into the water a bit deeper. The water was a little on the cold side and Caleb had this shocked, unsure look on his face. Where is the camera when you need it?!

Wow, I am surprised the water was warm enough...of course, it probably warms up quicker in Houston. Ft. Worth still has 3 more weeks before it's swimming ready. Looked like you guys had fun!
